Darkness had us covered When we split from Minnesota in the morningIn the rain

Black as I was feeling And the street was slick and shiny as a snakeEach of us was a-humming to a half forgotten echoHangin' over in the brain

Tappin' time and thinking of the time we never had the time to takeLosing to the rising cost of living high and loving hardAnd leavin' every yesterday behind

Learning every bridge you cross, Is burning down before you're off andRunningLike the devil just in time

Breakin' any ties before they bind youTaking any comfort you can findRunning like you're running out of timeTake it all-take it easy-till it's over-understandingWhen you're headin' for the border lordYou're bound to cross the line

Good lookin' women every time you stumbleWaitin' there to catch you when you fallGettin' to you bad enough to let em

Keep you backin' up Till just before your back's against the wall

Breakin' any ties before they bind youTakin' any comfort you can findRunnin' like you're runnin' out of timeTake it all-take it easy-till it's over-understandingWhen you're headin' for the border lordYou're bound to cross the line
